DP AU - guidance on symptoms

[IndicaIVoz]

Hi there mate, everything I was thinking @Waira said almost word for word in that order. Except one thing at least directly and that's your Rh I'm looking at her and she's saying it's not quite right, can you give us a reading on that pls bro, right before lights out being the ideal time to check,but il take what I can get..
Edit. You mentioned that all good max 60Rh.

Aye, never have exceeded 60, and that is full swing where the humidity is very, very high in this time of the year.

Yeah cool as @Waira mentioned, all those that appear to be environmental issues can easly be attributed back to poor root health, on top of the obvious root symptoms on display.
A written journal I like your style. You should consider hydro .

One more thing, I was just reading your mix list and you havnt mentioned any source of bennies or Mfungi, like voodoo or Great white,tarantula, etc.this will help the plant function much better to fight off disease and overall good health.
By the way she's a lovely girl

the rinse agent isn't necessary, just helpful because it can aid in knocking loose the particle bound ions better than water alone,... speaking of which, what source is yours? I gather a pH and ppm/EC reading isn't available now either,... LOL!- soil growing isn't as simplistic as many presume it to be, with little need for such equipment,.. some get away with it too on occasion, but when shit starts going south, and there's no means to measure important parameters, it becomes a difficult craps shoot to guess at the right way to fix things! Very likely, with salt n build-up and those symptoms, it's too acidic in there,... Still, you can flush anyway, and sooner is better!... I suggest using a mix of tap and DI/RO water, but that depends on your water source... if you know you have pretty hard water, high mineral content, then using lower EC/ppm water can help with the flushing,.. typically, I tell people to measure the pH and ppm of the run-off initially and as the flush progresses to see how bad it is in there, and how well it's correcting,.... At least 3x the pot volume is used, done quickly, 20min, so as to not water board them and start suffocating the roots! In the final pour, include a mild dose of nutes and Ca-Mg, like 1/4 strength,....I know air pots can make this process a real beating, with side leakage, so go slow, even and steady with the pour,... there's several flush agents out there, but the two mentioned are well spoken of,...

@Waira yeah man sometimes I miss growing outdoors,complicated but interesting as hell. Just hearing you talk about it amps me up to at least grow partly in soil again.

Thank you so much all! Got her moved to a new area, friend had a tool for me, so got things in order to nurse her back, just not here, was already running short on space. Fortunately he had a Accurate 8? Pretty sure that's what he called it, pH was way off so we did the flush and will get things back on track. She will be under a different light source. HPS now instead of LED. Friend uses that. Handing out rep, cheers to the AFN Infirmary Group, rescue should be successful!

Thanks for noticing! I find it easier to reference and pin point down to the day if I am back tracking. Hydro is on the table for end of year plans, something we have been piecing together as time moves along, all in a bin right now.

<not an infirmary expert just so your aware just a fellow grower like you .
I like hydro because its quick and easy once your dialed in. Not a bad way to go just tricky to learn at first.

 

[Waira]

shweeeet! an Accurate 8 is something I should have mentioned,.. it's not very expensive, and it offers decent accuracy from a simple device when used properly! Nothing beats direct in-pot measurements too, plus you can check at various depths, which often will vary in pH-- Better still, no more PITA, dubious run-off testing! Good to hear mate, sounds like this is well handled and a quick fix to get her back on track,...

>> I-V ... yup, OD's is a whole different adventure,... not as complicated, at least environmentally--- light and T are out of our hands, right?! --just the bug wars to wage, and the usual nute tweaking ... but that fabulous UVB boosts potency so nicely!
